Anyone curious if the 2013 gt500 axlebacks are still compatible with the 5.0 exhaust layout? Quad tips look pretty good, just have to buy those and the rear valence. It doesnt look like the rear panels have changed so those parts would be compatible with the 11-12 models too.

I like the rear of the 2013 with front of the 2010-2012 the front of the 2013 reminds me of the mustang II.

The more I see the 2013 Body Style, the more it grows on me. I'm still not sure how much I like the updated body style, but I have found that its incredibly difficult for me to locate a 2012 Mustang GT Premium Coupe in Black, Brembo Brake Package, and 3.73 with a NJ/California Emission System. If I cannot find a Mustang with the options I want, looks like I will just have to find a 2013 Model with those options...

I like the look of the finished rockers and the rear end on the 2013.

I have 3M clear vinyl on the painted rockers of my 07 and on the front and rear to avoid the road/track marbles that get kicked up.

It might be more than what mud flaps cost, but just think its a nice way to preserve the paint from scuffs and such.

Have you considered the 3M application?

Glad I got my 2012 as I'm not a fan of the updated front end. Looks like a V6, GT500 and GT all mashed together. Different strokes for different folks. It's like the 2004 GTO's vs. the 05+.

It's like Ford had a bunch of left over Shelby front ends they had use up, so they put them on every model. What I don't like is that every model looks the same.

I'm not digging that the V6 and GT look the same.


Or maybe I just dig them grill fogs.....

I felt the same way, the 2013's look like a mashed up V6, GT, and Shelby GT500. Also, when I would look at the front, and get down eye to eye with the car, it was almost smiling at me...

I think the look is pretty nice. I have been out of the Mustang market for a few months, but I am getting a 13 GT when they hit the lots . I tell you what, it sucks when your Mustangless and its nice outside
